I have been a lawyer for almost 20 years and have practiced family law exclusively for 15 years. I have tried hundreds of jury trials and thousands of bench trials.. I provide competent straight-forward representation and can be counted on to tell it like it is. I feel a huge responsibility to each and every client. Feel free to call for a free in-office consultation. I would be happy to meet with you.
